How to Poop at Work
We’ve all been there but don’t like to admit it. We’ve all been working in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable.
For those who hate pooping at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.
CROP DUSTING
When farting, you walk really fast around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn’t know from where it came. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk and extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.
FLY BY
The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.
ESCAPEE
A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release and escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.
JAILBREAK
When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.
COURTESY FLUSH
The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.
WALK OF SHAME
Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH. Utilize the HOLDING PATTERN to avoid.
OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER
A colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an Out of the Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under their arm. Always look around the office for the Out of the Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.
THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N.)
A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of the Out of the Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.
SAFE HAVENS
A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom. A SAFE HAVEN can also be a bathroom with a single stall and a locking door.
TURD BURGLAR
Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, go into a HOLDING PATTERN until the TURD BURGLAR leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact. Pray the TURD BURGLAR doesn’t STAKEOUT the stall.
CAMO-COUGH
A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall. This can used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or alert potential TURD BURGLARS. Very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.
BLOODHOUND
Similar to the CAMO-COUGH, but a false sniffle is used to alert entrants the stall is occupied.
ASTAIRE
A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential TURD BURGLARS that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace. (Critical Update!! The Astaire should be avoided in light of the Larry Craig sex sting fiasco! The Camo-Cough is a recommended alternative. It is still recommended to leave the bathroom immediately if you do hear an ASTAIRE.)
WATERMELON
A poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a WATERMELON coming, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.
HAVANAOMELET
A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by and ESCAPEE. Try using a CAMO-COUGH with an ASTAIRE. You can also use that moment to noisily procure a handful of toilet paper.
UNCLE TED
A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. Could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Ted makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as the other bathroom attendees.
HOLDING PATTERN
When a pooper has finished their business and sits in the stall until the bathroom clears out to avoid the WALK OF SHAME. Especially useful when UNLCLE TED won’t leave.
FALSE ALARM
When performing a FLY BY, you mistakenly think the bathroom is empty. To avoid any embarrassment, move quickly to an open urinal. Be careful to not be confused with a TURD BURGLAR. Leave as soon as you are finished, and don’t look back.
STAKEOUT
If the restroom is occupied after performing a FLY BY without having a FALSE ALARM, and the WORK POOP is imminent such that there is not enough time to return to your workstation and wait sufficiently long enough to perform another FLY BY without becoming a FREQUENT FLYER, inconspicuously linger near the restroom and pretend to talk on your cell phone to keep an eye on the entrance to wait for the occupants to leave. A STAKEOUT will be less effective if the current occupant is an UNCLE TED or if an OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER arrives. If this happens, consult your P.F.N.
Lingering in the bathroom will cause confusion. The person in the stall utilizes the HOLDING PATTERN and thinks there’s and UNLCE TED. This turns into an endurance of wills to see who will hold out the longest. Avoid this at all costs and find a SAFE HAVEN.
THE WALL
Upon opening the door to the bathroom, you are immediately overpowered by a seemingly impenetrable wall of rank odor. If at all possible, perform a FLY BY and come back when the air is clear. You may want to ask for a COURTESY FLUSH if the offender is in a HOLDING PATTERN.

do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning bloodsucking creatures'.
do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
EVER WONDER..Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

FW: Go Europe!
be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was
the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan
that would become known as "Euro-English" .
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make
the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of
"k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20%
shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to
reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always
ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is
disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with
"z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou"
and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze

FW: New Quarterback
Quarterback for the Packers...
In a news conference Deanna Favre announced she will be the starting QB for the Packers this coming Sunday. Deanna asserts that she is qualified to be starting QB because she has spent the past 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers. During this period of time she became familiar with the definition of a corner blitz, and is now completely comfortable with other terminology of the Packers offense. A survey of Packers fans shows that 50% of those polled supported the move.
Does this sounds idiotic and unbelievable to you? Well, Hillary Clinton makes the same claims as to why she is qualified to be President and 50% of democrats polled agreed. She has never run a City, County, or State. When told Hillary Clinton has experience because she has 8 years in the white house, Dick Morris stated "so has the pastry chef".

Alaskan Clydesdale
and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling
tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves,
he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the
moose around is a sweet salt lick, although during the rut he disappears for a
couple of weeks, but always comes home... impressive!

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead
of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just
pretty much leave me the hell alone.

and leaky tire.
3. Its always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to
steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

else.
6. . Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

you have their shoes
9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not
for you.
10. . Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him

it was probably a wise investment.
